Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Mr. Jordan N.
Israel, we'll known lawyer here and
who was formerly clerk to the House
Commission on Banking and Currency of
which Judge Miller of Texas was chair

The two men were sitting in Mr..

JAY GOULD
a Newspaper Story that He is Fearful OF

a Newspaper Story that He is Fearful OF
the Anarchists.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-An evening paper
prints story in which it connects the de-
pGrture OF Jay Gould with the approach
ing execution OF the Chicago anarchists.
The story says the anarchist leaders have
fixed upon Gould IS the man who, by the
bold use Of his money and power could
stay the hand of justice and prevent what
they look upon as the slaughter of mar
tyrs. Absurd IS this is, they have not
hesitated 30 act upon 1t boldly.
At first Gould was approached in
neutral rather than a threatening
way. The reliance OF the anarchist
brotherhood, upon his great power and
upon his exercise of If in their behalf,
was set forth in cemmuica lions, which ne
received sometimes by the mail
and sometimes by the hands of fur
tive messengers in the street. As time
passed on and the case of the
condemned seven became more
desperate, The anonymous letters became
sharper in tone and often of 8 distinctly
threatening character. After this change
|of attitude the mail was alone used for

The Stability OF Our Political Institutions
Illustrated.
Rev. j. Coleman Adams in the Forum for O3-
tober,
It is not just to the trustworthy institu-
tons and Influences of American life to
ignore or to depreciate the actual
work they are doing in the real naturali-
zation of our alien populations. We have
planted ourselves upon great principle,
the highest ever reached by nation, to-
wit, 6hst il q man is treated like man he
is likely to become g nan, and II he does
not his son will. We have resolved TO
try the experiment of liberty under lsW
even upon the law-opDressed sud the
lawless. So far we have every reason for
congratulstion. We are achieving won
derful success, ana the only serious fail
ures of our system have come from
too lex, and not from too rigOr-
Gus enforcement of it's principles. When
the scholar and the merchant fail to vote,
while the day laborer and the barroom
loafer are prompt at the polls, our
system Is not fully applied. The ballot
then is oversparred and underballssted.
The analogy holds in other particulars;
let the spirit of American institutions be
carried TO its fullest extent; let the n Il
vidusl feel his responsibility as e citizen:
let'his children be trained in the common
school; let the churches hsve free field
and no favors; let the law be sustained by
the active efforts of the best men and
women in the community and Americs is
in 10 more danger Of losing the institu-
tiens or the spirits of the forefathers than
she is of losing her climate.

TELEGRAPHIC PEACE.
The Western Union Makes Peace With Its
Last Rival.


Last Rival.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The reXtim port
ant step toward the complete settlement
of the telegraph war, probably second
only to the purchase Of the Baltimore and
OHIO system, by the Western Union COM
panY, was taken yesterday. An agree
ment was made between the Mutual
Union, the fighting contingent of the
Western Union company, and the Postal
Telegraph Company, which represents the
only opposition. Mr.. Gould said in re-
ply to an Inquiry whether the agree
ment meant the abolition Of
the MSckay land and cable lines,
81 guess not. I understand the situa-
ton; the Mutual Union and the Postal
Companies have sgreed to advance rates
something near the Gsrif. They have
been fighting each other, but the Western
Union is not greatly interested. have
not heard of any advance in cable rates.
It is understood that the advance in land
rates will carry with it the abolition
of all competitive ten and fifteen cent
rates. 8 new schedule will be agreed
over nearly with the Western Unlon
Company. Special dispatches to the Her
aid from Richmond, Alexandria, Freder-
icksburg, Petersburg, Portsmouth and
other points in the south say that the offices
of the New York and Southern Telegraph
Company Sre to be closed in all parts of
the south reached By the southern lines.
A few hundred more operators will be
thrown out and rates in that locality will
be fixed by Western Union.

cupied by Western Union, tends more and
more to interfere with the formation OF
rival concerns. At the same time the in
fation of Western Union capital has
reached point where it can readily be
seen that it can Ill afford to indulge in
further expansion in order to absorb its
competitors.
Ali of this has doubtless been duly
weighed by the interest controlling West
ern Union, and, in view of the COMPARE
lively feeble opposition which the Postal
and United Lines land wires are able to
afford it, steps are apparently in progress
toward placing the rates, which the Balti-
more and Ohio's competition had reduced,
upon a more remunerative basis. 1t
would, however, seem that recognition
had been given to the fact that the con-
tinusnce of low rates for two years has
made them practically permanency, and
that the public would incline to resent
any return to the scale Of charges preyi-
ously in force. Nevertheless, some de-
gree of advance may be expected In rates.
Evidences a-e notSWanting thet,ore re-
suit Of the matter will be an increase OF
public attention to the question OF gov
ernmental interference inconnection with
the telegraph problem. The obvious diff
culties in this respect, however, do not
decrease with time. For the government
to acquire the existing lines, including
Western Union, at anything like their III
fiated capitalization, would find virtually
no support, while the suggestion that the
government enter the field as Compel
itor and erect lines OF its own, to be ope-
rated by the Postoffice Department,
would, outside of the question OF prob
able loss, involve questions and difficult
ties not easy Of solution. Existing
statutes and decisions, to be sure, give
large measure of regulative authority
over the telegraph companies of the
country to Congress, and it is altogether
probable that in the first instance the
most satisfactory results could be obtain
ed from it's exercise. It cannot be
denied that, on the whole, the service
rendered by the Western Union Company
is satisfactory in quality, while the ques-
ton of rates is one which, under existing
circumstances, must have reference to
it's status as q corporation,
whose primary object is the
profit Of its shareholders; and, how
ever patent the extent to which it's stock
mas been inflated may be, its rates cannot
be regulated without considering that
side of the subject. At the same time, it
it is not unfair to say that to large ex-
tent, whatever popular disfavor attends
the cOmpany's possession OF q practical
monopoly OF service of such Importance
to the public, is Intimately connected
with the general distrusts of the methods
and aims of the interests which is SUI
preme in it's management, and this senti-
ment will doubtless make itself felt in
connection with whatever steps may for
the present be taken toward a solution OF
the problem on the lines Of governmental
interference.

yesterday addressed TO President Cleve-

the President of the Uaited States: The
council general Of the Social Demo-
cratic federation in Holland
feeling indignant at the infamous
Judgment Of the Illinois Supreme court
In the case of the Chicago anarchists,
holds that the throwing of the bomb in
the meeting held May 4, 1886, was caused
by an outrageous assault of the police
upon the peoples right of free speech.
Furthermore as the throWer of the bono
is not known, the charging of the seven
snarchists with the guilt of this act is
essentially arbitrary and the out
growth Of class hatred. Therefore
the social democratic federation
CT Holland in the name Of humanity, lio-
erty and justice protest against the sen
lance of death passed upon the Chicago
anarchists and despising the ruling classes
for making themselves party to this MUIR
der, shall hold the President of the United
States personally responsible if their lives
are taken. Signed The Consul General,

Steel Lace.


The question of making laces Of iron
snd steel for ladies' and children's wear
isB agsin beings discussed in art, mill,
and fashion circles. At the Centennial IN
1876 piece of steel rolled by q Pittsburg
mill was on exhibition which was so thin
snd light that it weighed much less than
g book leaf, and could be blown from the
hand easier than q piece Of paper of the
same size. The iron leaf was rolled on
train of rolls upon which heavy tank and
boiler iron is now rolled.
Experts say that curtains and other fine
Iaces can be made of soft malleable iron,
and in every way be used with greater
satisfaction than cotton lsces. The sheets
will necessarily have to be rolled down
to an exceedingly low gauge and then
pressed into any desirable pattern and
shape. There will be no trouble in turn-
ishing iron laces for ladies' and children's
wear. with their names and other
ornsmentstion in filagree design.
An introduction of steel lace would es-
taolish in Pittsburg an industry that
would give work to sc least 5000 men sno
consume annually not less than $4,000
tons of steel, which is now drug in the
market ct less than 2 cents q pound.
Steel lace, unlike cotton, can be made
light or heavy without affecting the grade,
e6lor or brightness. We may yet see
fashionable ladies wearing steel shawis
and trimmings for their hats and dresses.
